Inherited a Home in Miami? Here Is What to Know
Inheriting property in Miami, Florida can be both a gift and a burden. You are suddenly responsible for property taxes, insurance, maintenance, HOA fees, and any outstanding mortgage payments, often while grieving the loss of a loved one. Most inherited homes need updating, deep cleaning, or major repairs to be ready for the traditional market. And if you live out of state or share the inheritance with siblings, the logistics can quickly become overwhelming.

We buy inherited homes in any condition, work with executors and administrators, handle out-of-state and even international heirs, and close on your timeline. You do not need to fix the home, clean it out, or remove anything you do not want to keep.

The Probate Process in Florida
Florida probate typically takes 3-6 months for a summary administration (estates under $75,000) or 6-12 months for formal administration. As an heir, you may need Letters of Administration before you can sell. Our title team works alongside your probate attorney to coordinate timing, and we can often go under contract before probate closes.
Most heirs come to us in one of three stages: before probate has been opened, during probate proceedings, or after probate has closed and they have authority to sell. We can work with you at any stage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Inherited Property in Miami
Can I sell the inherited home before probate is complete?
You can sign a contract before probate is complete, but you cannot transfer title until the probate court grants authority. We routinely go under contract early and close once you have the court order.
What if I share the inheritance with siblings?
All heirs (or the appointed executor) typically need to sign the sale contract. If heirs disagree, we cannot move forward until consensus is reached or the executor has clear authority.
How much can I sell my inherited Miami home for?
Cash offers are typically 70-85% of after-repair value. When you factor in agent commissions, closing costs, repairs, cleanout, and months of carrying costs, the net is often comparable to traditional sale without the months of waiting.
Do I need to clean out the home before you visit?
No. Take what you want and leave the rest. We handle the cleanout after closing.
What if I live out of state or out of the country?
That is one of our specialties. We use mobile notary, electronic signing, and wire transfers so you never need to set foot in Miami.
Are there taxes on selling an inherited home?
Inherited property generally receives a step-up in basis, meaning capital gains are calculated from the value at the date of death, not the original purchase. This often means little to no capital gains tax. Always confirm with your tax advisor.
What if there are liens or back taxes on the inherited home?
We handle tax liens, code violations, HOA arrears, and most other title issues as part of closing.
